[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a picky eater and something of a foodie.  But over the years I’ve also just come to the conclusion that a vacation is not all about my food preferences.  I’ve had crappy meals in lots of beautiful unique places because the truth is that, in many places, eating like the locals do (or worse yet, eating near the popular tourist places that you might actually want to see) is not going to result in a great meal.  I’m now at a place where I try to pick the best restaurant I can without dragging my family to someplace they don’t want to go just because someplace is supposed to have the most authentic whatever.  Sometimes we get really lucky and happen into someplace great but other times it’s just whatever and that’s fine.  I find the same thing with AIs and Disney and cruises (all of which I’ve done)—much of the food is whatever, some of it is bad and sometimes you get a surprisingly amazing dish (I’m thinking of you. Sandals jerk chicken fresh off the grill).   If my family is having fun with the location, then I think it’s a good vacation.  I’ve definitely had worse food  in some gorgeous national parks, random pubs in England or Ireland, small towns in South America, or eating in some people’s homes in Eastern Europe.

Anyway, I hate the snobbery, but I do find it amusing!  At least this thread has not yet reached chicken bus status—that was the worst![/quote]

You can't be a picky eater and a foodie. It is one or the other.[/quote]

It depends how you define picky..  I won’t eat any meat that’s been mocrowaved.  I won’t eat any food on a plane or in a cafeteria.   I won’t eat most food that’s been sitting out on a buffet (exceptions for some food that sits well, like bread pudding).  I won’t eat eggs unless they are fresh made.  I won’t eat fruit unless it’s very fresh and won’t eat overcooked vegetables.  I won’t eat French fries unless they are very crisp and straight from frier (exception for small McDonald’s fries if on a road trip).  I won’t eat donuts umless tjeh ate hot and only frkm certain places.  I generally won’t eat fast food (exception for McDonald’s fries on a road trip).  I won’t eat iceberg or romaine lettuce.  My spouse considers me extremely picky!  [/quote]
